Ultimate Climbing System for Me

This is the ultimate mobile climbing system for me. This video is not intended for people to identically duplicate or even make this system. Climbing trees is very dangerous so every individual needs to be prepared to assume all of the risks and liability before attempting hunting from a tree or climbing one. If you want to further analyze my approach, the parts I used to make my setup are as follows
Tube aluminum from onlinemetal.com
Camo Duct Tape from amazon - amzn.to/2Q4TZCC
10 inches of 2,000-pound strength rock climbing rope - amzn.to/2EdJDO9 - (I've also used this material to make my lineman's rope to hang from, utilizing prussic chord - amzn.to/3kY8Qgp
4,500-pound breaking strength webbing for the ladder - amzn.to/3l0LqqH
about 4 feet of 550-pound breaking strength cordage - amzn.to/2Q7Lcjn
Green PVC pipe - amzn.to/2Qc1K9K
Straps and legs to that go against the tree were from XOP climbing sticks. Similar Lone Wolf straps can be purchased on Amazon with this link - amzn.to/3l2o7g3
End caps - amzn.to/2DaCWMz
If you decide to try a project like this, be overly careful and practice all safety measures possible, and be prepared to assume all liability for your designs and actions. This type of project is extremely dangerous and it is not advisable to duplicate it.

[@seansoutdoors]

Since several people have missed it and then asked, I will note that you have to watch the video in full to see how I attach the ladder to me so that it can't fall to the ground. I use a piece of paracord rated at 550 pounds and a steel carabiner rated over 1000 pounds, tie one end to the top of the ladder and the other end clips onto my saddle. Even if I were to drop the ladder (which I intentionally do when coming down the tree for one of the steps) it is going to just hang there waiting for me to grab the paracord and keep going.

[@seansoutdoors]

@stan hunt Lol, that will be interesting!

[@seansoutdoors]

@stan hunt Maybe I will do that

[@canadianpatriot5577]

What did you use for the brackets at the top of the sticks? Checked your description, but that part isn't listed

[@seansoutdoors]

I used the brackets off of a set of Lone Wolf climbing sticks but you can also buy something like that online. I have seen them for sale at around $20 each.

[@tradbowpodcast]

No gonna lie! This is the most innovative new method I have seen and still keep you quiet, close to the tree, and not working up a sweat. Brilliant and well done.

[@seansoutdoors]

Thanks. I've thought about this for years. Glad I finally took the time to make it

[@michiganwoodsman2199]

Oh your gunna sweat unless your a stick guy. As in skinny and light

[@twowolfsmith8561]

First and foremost, Thank you Sir for making these videos. I'm a new Hunter, getting overwhelmed with all the things people recommend I "should" have. But, most, very rarely, explain how things work. All of the videos I've been watching from you have given me more knowledge on the actual machanics and break down. I'm slowly getting my gear that I will need for hunting. And this video has me thinking of how I can make my own sticks and ladder for my 265# self and my big feet 🙃. So, again I thank you Sir. Stay strong, stay healthy, stay blessed.

[@seansoutdoors]

Thanks. As a beginner, I would suggest just getting sticks from a company, that way you don't have to worry about if it is a tried and tested method. God bless you.

[@trevorwhite3949]

First, let me say that I watch hundreds of hunting related videos from climbing methods, saddles, treestands, steps, sticks… I’ve seen it all. Then I see the most innovative DIY system I’ve ever seen. Those step/sticks are fantastic! I will definitely be looking more into this!

[@seansoutdoors]

Thanks. Let me give you an observation I made after using it a bit. It works on straight tree but slanted trees it became tough to climb because you hang off the side of the tree in a real awkward way. If you try making something similar stick to straight trees.

[@Shootemfulloholes]

Dude you have made my day!!! pretty smart mod you have for your sticks and the aider!! i think i have watched this 5 times already!!

New subscriber here, been following for a few months. This season my son and are going mobile, I picked up an XOP Evolution stand and 4 of their climbing sticks. After putting it altogether on a lock-n-walk carry harness I was like "This ain't feelin too mobile..." LOL! Love your idea with the climbing aid - it would be important for people to know that your pvc is an all-weather, outdoor pvc, resistant to sunlight, getting brittle, etc. Thanks for the content and the rate at which you post - God bless you.

[@seansoutdoors]

Cool thanks

[@reklistube]

Excellent idea. This is very similar to what DIY Sportsman has done as well. Both of you are truly an inspiration to the rest of us. BTW, that knot when you tie two knots that oppose each other and slide to grab each other when force is applied is called a "Fisherman's knot"

[@G273Outdoors]

Great idea Sean. This would definitely come in handy on hunts where your way off the beaten path and need to travel light. I would have loved something like this years ago, but, not now, as I am in my mid 50s, I steer away from from taking too many chances when getting 20 feet off the ground. Honestly, I find using a 15 lb pack-able ground blind is the way I am going to hunt this season. Mainly because my son, Zach, will be hunting with me and being with him in the blind gives me more teach-able moments. I got 3 over the last couple years at the end of the season when Walmart put them on sale from $200 down to $75. The blind my son got his deer out of on opening day (5 Sept) was put there a couple weeks ago and deer got used to it quick. Anyway, good luck this season and God bless!

[@seansoutdoors]

That's great brother. I set up a blind at the spot I shot my buck in my ten acres last year. Looking forward to trying it

[@jeffwhite543]

I like the weight of this homemade system! I have just started getting into the saddle based hunting system and enjoy watching your inputs on this. It gets a bit annoying hearing "I do not recommend this..." I know you're protecting yourself but I think I heard it 50 times lol... Seriously, great job and you really have my mind working on alternates of existing system already available! Keep it coming, new subscriber.

Hey Sean, I really like the design of those sticks...simple and effective. How do you think they would handle side pressure? I would like to use one alongside my platform as an extra place to put my foot when you have to move around the tree.

[@seansoutdoors]

I think if you pushed hard from the side it might be able to slide. I will have to do a test on that in one of the follow up videos I do on this system in the near future ... Keep an eye out for it

[@WildUrbanAdventures]

Very cool method!

[@seansoutdoors]

Thanks

[@todlew3238]

Excellent design for the latest craze in mobile hunting. It'll be copied and merchandised. Allow me ,a 63 year old hunter to just stick to my Summit Climber and carry the 20 lbs and walk half as far. My weight savings is in the feather weight of my recurve bow versus the heavy compounds. Good video 👍

[@seansoutdoors]

Sounds good. All that matters is that it works and it is safe. God bless you.

[@kennethrogers1129]

Nice!! Will make a set, but am thinking, you could just use one, use a rope cam lock, and rappell down....you call them steps, but you never step on them, they are just hangers for your aider, which is cool, and great idea on the pvc for the aider step!!

[@seansoutdoors]

Thanks for watching

[@kenmathews4522]

Do the rungs on the ladder-aider that you made spin? It seems that they could if you didn't get your foot all the way in. Also it the pvc slippery? I really enjoyed the video and the system. I may give it a go myself.

Love this design Sean. I just came across this and want to make a web ladder to hang trail cams. Could you describe how you made the ladder. I did not quite see how you attached the pipe. Thanks

[@seansoutdoors]

I use the strapping material and cut a long piece. I then cut a piece of green PVC pipe and slid it down to the center of the bottom of the long piece. I tied a knot in the strap on both sides of the PVC so that it couldn't slide around. Up about a foot and a half I slid the strap through another piece of PVC from the opposite ends, one from the right one from the left. I then tied a knot on each side of the plastic piece so that it could not slide around or slide down the strap. And then went up about another foot and a half slid the strap through another piece of PVC pipe and tie the knot on each end so that the pipe could not slide around. I then tied a loop in the top. To make it easier to use in my system I tied a more rigid type of rope to that which would make it go on and off of my step easier.

[@seansoutdoors]

I carry two and throw the other one over the limb and disconnect the lower one and keep going

[@thehuntingchallenge]

Sean's Outdoor Adventures makes sense. I saw the other video when you compared the time of climbing between 4 climbing methods, (if memory recalls) enjoyed it. For this year, I settled on hawks with a 5 step naider. Still have a few practice climbs to do but have been sold on the saddle since last year.

[@Sheribahadur67]

Where did you source the tree bracket that connects to the aluminum step pole? As far as dangerous, as long as you climb and have experience with a safety climbing system with a prisic type or an ascender/descender, with a body harness, I think you take some of the danger out of it. If you fall the safety system should catch you. Of course, I would test practice on very low heights to check and recheck all of your gear to ensure its not going to fail.

[@seansoutdoors]

From my climbing sticks

Also I have and idea on how to make the steps a little wider at the top for the foot to rest easier and safer on the top of the step.

The downward weight keeps it in line but you have to use it on straight trees. If you are on a leaning tree and the whole unit is on a slanted angle then it can kick out if you are not careful.
